• Balance priorities across multiple projects while communicating capacity, risks, dependencies, and progress clearly.
• Participate in remote reviews, planning meetings, and collaborative work sessions across distributed teams.
• Record and edit original source material when appropriate.
• Implement and maintain audio using [Wwise / FMOD / proprietary tools] and [Unreal Engine / Unity / proprietary engine].
• Test audio in context and refine it based on creative direction, gameplay needs, and stakeholder feedback.
• Troubleshoot technical and implementation issues across supported platforms.
• Maintain organized sessions, assets, documentation, and handoff materials.
• Contribute ideas, provide constructive feedback, and help improve team workflows.

• Approximately 3–5 years of professional sound-design experience, ideally in games or another interactive medium.
• Experience working in co-development, outsourcing, embedded development, or production-support environments.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate multiple projects and adjust to different teams, workflows, priorities, and creative styles.
• A strong portfolio or demo reel demonstrating creative sound design, editing, mixing, and attention to detail.
• Proficiency with a professional digital audio workstation such as Pro Tools, Reaper, Nuendo, or equivalent.
• Experience implementing audio in Wwise, FMOD, or a comparable audio engine.
• Working knowledge of Unreal Engine, Unity, or another real-time development environment.
• Understanding of interactive audio systems, mixing, signal flow, and asset optimization.
• Ability to interpret creative direction and independently carry assigned work to completion.
• Strong remote communication, documentation, organization, and time-management skills.
• Comfort receiving direction from multiple stakeholders and knowing when to ask questions, raise concerns, or request clarification.
• A collaborative, service-oriented mindset and openness to feedback.

• Experience contributing to several projects or development teams concurrently.
• Experience onboarding quickly to existing projects and unfamiliar pipelines.
• Field-recording, Foley, dialogue-editing, or synthesis experience.
• Experience with music systems, procedural audio, spatial audio, or accessibility features.
• Familiarity with version-control and project-management tools.
• Experience shipping a game or comparable interactive project.
• Basic scripting or visual-scripting knowledge.
• Experience developing for PC, console, mobile, or VR.

• You build trust with internal teams and external partners through dependable, high-quality work.
• You transition between projects without losing organization, context, or attention to detail.
• You communicate clearly in a remote environment and proactively surface questions, risks, and scheduling conflicts.
• You adapt your creative approach to support each project’s established audio direction.
• You can work independently while remaining engaged with the larger team.
